Queer in Nazlı Karabıyıkoğlu's works

Queer literary criticism includes the reflections of a thought that acts as an umbrella for every formation that heterosexual thought defines as the other, in literary works. Born from within feminism, queer, completely different from it, deals with every subject that feminism leaves out. In this sense, the fundamental issue of queer criticism is gender, and its proposal is desexualization. Queer, whose aim is to create genderless bodies, rejects gender laws and political, socio-cultural domination over genders and destroys existing taboos. Domination over the human body is the fundamental issue of queer literary criticism. By reaching a partnership through nature and the human body, queer literature has included hybridization in literature and has given importance to this concept in the works. What is expected from a queer work is the devaluation of gender rules and normative individuals/individualism with symbols, the destruction of dualities, and the narration of subcultural elements and archaic language. Irony, parody and black criticism are also the fundamental arguments of queer literary criticism. In this study, Nazlı Karabıyıkoğlu's narratives will be examined in the context of queer literary criticism.
